Assuming you are running Windows, use a cd-burning program to create  
an iso image of the disc. Most software included with cd-burners can  
do this. If you need a hand with this step, contact me off list.

Once you have created the iso (a single file representing the entire  
disc), you need a free program called Daemon Tools ( http:// 
www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php? 
mode=ViewCategory&catid=5 ). Daemon tools makes the iso appear as a  
new cd drive (virtual) in Windows Explorer. At that point, you can  
install the program from your 'virtual cd' and not have to worry  
about carrying another disc.
